Using Zoom Contact Center role management
Zoom Contact Center admins can use the role management feature to control access to features and settings in the Zoom web portal. For example, you can assign certain agents as supervisors and give them access to view the queue analytics dashboards so that they can track queue KPIs.
Requirements for using Zoom Contact Center role management
- Account owner or admin privilege
- Pro, Business, or Education account
- Zoom Contact Center license
Note: For custom roles, when Address book management under Administration section or Address book tab under Client Management section are not checked, then the consumer information is not matched with address book contacts for engagements handled by users with that custom role. If address book contact lookup is needed for users with a custom role, at least one of these settings needs to be checked.
How to assign the account-level Zoom Contact Center privilege
Contact Center Management account-level role privilege grants access to the Zoom Contact Center web admin portal. Account owners will have this privilege by default. If they don't have a contact center license, they can only access user management. Other users may be granted this new privilege, but they must have a Zoom Contact Center license before they are able to access the Zoom Contact Center section of the Zoom web portal. This new permission also enables support for Delegated Account Administration of Zoom Contact Center.
To assign this privilege, follow the article about account-level role management. You find the Contact Center Management privilege in the Role Settings tab, under the Contact Center section.
Default Zoom Contact Center roles
There are three default roles that you can add members to. You can’t delete these roles, but you can duplicate these roles to use as a starting point for a new custom role.
Role name | Level of access |
Admin | All Zoom Contact Center features and settings in the web portal and desktop client. |
Supervisor | Some permissions for management features in the web portal and desktop client. |
Agent | All desktop client features, but no management features in the web portal. |
